I have used egg shape sponges from other name brands. But I found the Ecotools total perfecting blender in this kit blends my liquid foundation better if not the best. I usually use the tip for small areas around the nose, eyes, etc. Then soak the sponge and use it wet for my face. They clean up well using the included cleansing balm. The egg sponge in a travel case and the cleansing balm travel well. But I usually carry a spare a zip bag when traveling because the egg sponge would not fit in the case if not totally dry. When the sponges are wet, I just use the zip bag to carry them all. I have washed these sponges too many times and they held up really well so far. Just need to remember not to squeeze the sponge too hard if they're not completely wet.The green sponges are very soft when wet. I have not yet master them. They felt like my disposable sponge wedges, only larger. I bring them in the zip bag when traveling as backup because the egg sponge takes a long time to dry after cleaning.The cleansing balm is very convenient for cleaning the sponge after each use. But it's the best for cleaning brushes. After the balm cleaning, my brushes wipe clean on white tissue paper. It's one of the best brush cleaners I've used.

These do seem comparable to high end beauty blenders, but I've never actually liked "Beauty Blender" egg style blenders. I prefer smaller, over (flat) sponges, which are harder to find. I bought this set because it came with several different types of sponge blenders, hoping I would like at least one since my older flat sponges are finally falling apart. These just seemed to "smear" the foundation on my face, whereas my previous sponges actually blended it in to my skin. Maybe this is user error, but I'll stick with my usual sponges from now on. The cleaning balm that came with this works ok, but I found that dish soap cleans much more quickly and thoroughly.
